1256 MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES I will read it to you and after you hear it you will see whether you want to strike it from the record or not. Mr. Kearns. That is the substance of it, anyway. Mr. Le\^. It is up to you. I abide by your rulings. Mr. Kearns. That is the substance of it. Mr. Hartley answered it and said that there would be an investigation. Mr. Levy. But I say you are not having it. Mr. Kearns. That is your opinion. Mr. Owens. The investigation is not completed yet, Mr. Levy. Mr. Levy. That is what we were told, sir, in Los Angeles. I will accept the ruling if you make the ruling. Now let me go on, please, to a consideration of some of the legal matters that have been presented by the previous witness. No mention was made by the previous witness that a number of representation proceedings were instituted on behalf of the lATSE before the National Labor Relations Board, and the}^ have been pending for months. Since the directive of December 26, 19^5, and those representa- tion proceedings would determine if the workers in the studios wanted Mr. Sorrell's organization to represent them, or whether they wanted the lATSE to represent them. I am told by the National Labor Relations Board that the reasons why those representation proceedings have not been proceeded with, are because of the pendency of the entire unfair labor practice charges instituted by Mr. Cobb, the so-called Cobb charges, and by Mr. Koma- roff, the so-called Komaroff charges. One of the things I wanted to present to the committee was the fact that there were a number of proceedings pending and are pending. On the basis of those representation proceedings, whenever a vote is taken the workers will decide which organization they want to go with. Mr. Kearns. That is up for ruling by the Board ? Mr. Le^tt. That is right. Mr. Kearns. That is not for me. Mr. Levy. That is right. Mr. Owens. Were those prior to the passage of the amendment to the National Labor Relations Act? Mr. Levy. Both prior and after. Mr. Owens. Prior and after? Mr. Levy. Yes, sir. Mr. Owens. You say they have not been heard because of these other charges that are filed. Have you any proof of that fact ? Mr. Levy. Our proof is: We were told at the regional level that the hearings could not come on, on the representation proceedings, until disposition of the unfair-labor-practice charges, two of which I have mentioned, and there are some others mentioned too. Mr. Owens. I would like to get someone's name stated here. Who said they could not have representation proceedings until unfair labor practices were disposed of? Keeping in mind if that were true a charge filed could stop any representation proceeding. Wlio said that? Mr. Levy. Our counsel in California in the twenty-first region.
